The Iconic Warrior: The Most Successful Special Operation Ever Conducted

By Gene Klann

The Iconic Warrior is a series of fast moving and informative historical fiction novels describing the combat experiences and exploits of protagonist Jean-Paul DeBert

(pronounced duh-bear). From his youth Jean-Paul, or J.P. as he is also known, dreamt about becoming a great battlefield warrior. In 1898 Jean-Paul was eighteen years old, six-foot one inch tall, handsome, fluent in four languages, an enthusiastic runner, educated in a New York Jesuit school, skilled at the French martial art of savate stick fighting, and of French and American Indian descent. His passage from raw civilian recruit to battle hardened veteran began with his 1898 acceptance into the U.S. Army's First Volunteer Cavalry, aka Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders (Volume 1 of the series). This volume describes Jean-Paul's participation in the special operation that captured Filippino rebel general Emilio Aguinaldo and ended the the Philippine-American War. The primary objective of the series is to promote and enhance professionalism in the military and specifically, in the United States Army. A secondary objective is to inform with words and images those who have limited knowledge of the military and military history. The book describes the thoughts, emotions, culture, and environment of military service-both in peacetime and in war. The battlefield is indeed the workshop of all iconic warriors
